Our Team

​​Over 75 years of combined business and R&D leadership.

NanoBio Designs offers a self-service platform that provides a simpler, faster, and less-expensive genetic detectionion process by converging scientific technologies.
​Established in 2017
NanoBio Designs was founded to commercialize parent company DNP123 Co.'s nanotechnology methods able to provide a clear visible distinction between samples with and without target DNA sequences.  It is 95% owned by DNP123 Co. and 5% by The Emerge Foundation, hosted at Simpson College, as it validates commercial viability and scale.  Investment opportunities are scheduled starting in late 2019 as this occurs.
